This is a rough and mountainous township, with very little
productive land, on the west side of Connecticut River, and connected with
Orford, N.H., by a bridge across that river.

Fairlee pond is two miles in length and about three fourths
of a mile wide. It formerly had no fish. Some years ago a gentleman
placed some pickerel in it, and the legislature passed a law protecting
the fish from molestation for two years. Since that time the pond
has had an abundance of pickerel, of good size and quality.

Boundaries. North by Bradford, east by Connecticut
River, which separates it from Orford, N. H., south by Thetford, and west
by West Fairlee.

Distances. Seventeen miles east south-east from Chelsea,
and thirty-one south-east from Montpelier. The Connecticut River
Railroad passes through this town.
